That was kind of entertaining, though with the name 'Stairway to Heaven' I was expecting something more serious (And relevant to the story) than what we got. I enjoyed the closing parts of the episode, Kanade running away to the garden and Yuri going through with her one week fasting threat afterwards. Kanade's deadpan, underwhelming reactions to everything are always nice, she's probably the funniest character.

I always thought the show's strongest suit was the humor, and I'm glad to see this bonus episode was devoted entirely to it. Fans who wanted more story will obviously be disappointed, but honestly, after the contrived drama that we got for an ending, I'd rather have this slice-of-life setting instead. Especially when it gives us more epic TK lines, Yui spazzing out on her guitar, and Yurippe being the megalomaniac that she is

The real standouts, of course, were Shiina and Kanade. Shiina breaking the Tension Meter reminded me of Tomoyo's 999+ hit combo from Clannad, and Kanade being Kanade was predictable yet charming as usual. The bit with the door's 'keypad' was especially hilarious

Was it wrong of me to also think of the show's actual ending upon seeing that 'BAD END' message?

I expected a whole lot of development and got absolutely none of it. Figures it would act under a charade of serious drama and development only to fall through and display needless silly antics.

Still, this was arguably one of the best episodes Angel Beats! has ever delivered; the humor and how it was thought out throughout made it arguably superior to just about almost every episode that was officially broadcasted. Operation High Tension...START!

at first i thought these 2 are separate. but since they added the "bad end" at the closing seconds, im not sure anymore...

No it shouldn't be. This bonus episode is clearly just a bonus episode, and the "Bad End" is just there for humor's sake. The Another Epilogue is an alternate to the ending of the series as your link says.

I have mixed emotions about it... it had some great humor scenes, mostly towards the end. But it also had a lot of random and annoying humour especially in the beginig. Characters were acting way too crazy...

Not sure if this belongs here, but here's my thoughts on the "ANOTHER EPILOGUE" bonus.

Spoiler for Another Epilogue:

So Otonashi became the new student council president huh... I guess this will be what happens if he doesnt' disappear with Kanade. He DID say he'll stay and help the other people who come along fulfill their dreams.

Still, when I first saw that blonde guy, I thought it was Otonashi wearing a wig, since they have the same eyes. Then he started speaking, and I was thinking "duh" when Otonashi comes along (badass! ). But he turned on the good guy button too quickly. ~.~

When I saw the NEXT STAGE at the end, I thought they'll have a continuation or something, but I was kinda disappointed when I saw that it was for the uuh... real random WTF bonus episode.
